A Note to the Reader About the Note of Apology Dear Reader I was going to start this book with a note of apology written with my own hand I was going to say how sorry I was if while you are reading this book you find your self dismayed at having NOT read the book that comes before it which is called The Templeton Twins Have an Idea And which for my convenience shall from now on be referred to as TTTHAI However I have decided not to apologize to you In fact I have decided that it is you who should apologize to me My work in narrating this book would be much easier if I could be sure that you had read the first book
If you had you would know who almost everyone is You would know what Professor Elton Templeton does You would know in what ways Cassie the Temple tons dog is ridiculous And you would of course know what an excellent narrator I am and thus be prepared to enjoy still more excellence in narration But since some of you haven’t read TTTHAI I shall have to introduce all these things to you I suggest therefore that those of you who haven’t read the first book write me an apology You may use the following as a model or use your own wording so long as it is deeply apologetic 6 the templeton twins make a scene
Dear Narrator Please accept my most humble apology heartfelt expression of remorse deepest senti ments of sorrow for not having read with uncontainable glee thoroughly enjoyed at least twice devoured in a single sitting your previous narrative T HE TEMPLETON T WINS HAVE AN IDEA TTT HAI I have no one to blame but myself know full well the disgraceful nature of my neglect solemnly promise never to allow such an oversight to happen again Yours truly in true apology The Reader Do I accept your apology I think we can all agree that I cannot The damage to my feelings is done Let’s move on a note to the reader about the note of apology 7
